A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 223: Advice from Firenze
Harry sat back in his seat, what happened just now made him think that he was still asleep, or that April Fool's Day had passed in advance. But the twins and Wood had already gathered around. They also saw Professor McGonagall's serious face and heard the arguments between them.
Although they didn't hear everything clearly, the occasional "Quidditch" and "training" were enough to startle them.
Harry explained the troubles he encountered. Although Wood had a bad face, he still comforted him, "It's okay, you come back before dark, and we will continue training. Anyway, you were originally a free man, so the impact is not counted." Big..."
He finally made a nasty joke, "Blake won't be imprisoned for more than ten years, his eyes are bad, and he recognizes me as you?"
The twins laughed heartlessly. It was really not an easy task to recognize the burly Wood as Harry.
But Harry was not in the mood to laugh. He really realized that Black, the escaped prisoner who had been in prison for twelve years, was once so close to him.
"Perhaps, I should put more thought into the essay on the duel system." Harry touched his schoolbag, where the beginning of a treatise was hidden.
Over the weekend, as Halloween approaches, the festive atmosphere is getting stronger.
Felix got up early and reviewed the paper in hand.
'...The above shows that we may have found a new treatment method for memory damage, which will be more targeted than the old medicine and spell treatment. The only problem is that we need to find a The way to stably connect patients' memories is not a short and malicious spying on thoughts like Legilimency, but a way of information exchange in a cooperative state.
At the same time, for the example of extreme memory damage (large permanent damage, memory shattering), simple gluing cannot cope with this situation. We need to think about making memory have a stable structure...'
Felix nodded with satisfaction, "The whole paper is a theoretical derivation, but it also implicitly mentions the most critical part - the magic of the thinking cabin and the structure of stable memory."
"Throw it out first to see the reaction, well... I can publish it in the monthly magazine of "Daily Prophet", which will have a certain influence, but the major is not suitable for the mouth, and the brewing cycle will be longer."
"I estimate that it will not spread among therapists until mid-to-late November. Such a purely theoretical thing will definitely attract different opinions. At that time, the situation of the Longbottoms may be hidden. I can’t hold it anymore, but I can just use this as an excuse to avoid the intervention of a higher level of St. Mungo, and no one will be so stupid as to reject a potential achievement at the level of the Order of Merlin.”
He put away the paper, and only needed to adjust the wording again, make a new copy, and send it out.
Felix was sitting on the sofa, thinking about how to simplify the treatment plan. This was also the suggestion Dumbledore gave him. Whether it was the magic of the thinking cabin or the memory nodes inherited from Ms. Ravenclaw, they were extremely important. He didn't have such a big heart for the precious knowledge, so he published it casually.
What's more, few people can learn it well.
"The simplification of the thinking cabin magic is relatively easy, I know it well, as for the memory node..." Felix thought for a while, and decided to throw out the stability that he had secondly understood from Ms. Ravenclaw's inheritance The structure of memory - this is what he applied to the magic puppets, allowing them to have a relatively stable personality and habits, and even be able to rehearse dramas by themselves.
In the glass container on the workbench, the acromantula hoarsely urged: "Hurry up, hurry up! I can't wait."
Felix turned around: "Really don't think about it anymore? I can give you a holiday, and enough food..."
"Stop it, stop it!" Acromantula said violently, "Let me go back."
"Fine." Felix stretched out his hand to grab the glass container on the workbench, and it shattered with a "click". In the dense blue light, the size of the acromantula kept shrinking. , and soon became as big as the tip of a thumb.
Felix put it back into the small glass bottle, and a small voice came out from the bottle, "Your magic has improved again, I don't feel anything unusual, maybe, I mean maybe...cooperate with you occasionally test." Felix hooked the corner of his mouth and stuffed the bottle into his pocket.
He glanced at the time and appeared at the gate of the castle. Two minutes later, just when he thought he couldn't wait for anyone, Luna appeared bouncing around.
"Felix, I have prepared some peas mixed with butter, Firenze will like it." She pointed to the crookedly woven flower basket and said.
Felix didn't know the taste of the centaur, but he didn't like it very much, so he changed the subject and said, "Let's go, let's meet your friends."
They descended the slope, passed the greenhouse and the Whomping Willow, and Hagrid's hut appeared in the distance, but they didn't approach, but turned a corner and went straight into the Forbidden Forest.
Passing through a barrier of trees, they soon came to a clearing. The clearing is covered with moss and various wildflowers, and several stones have been carefully cleared. It is obvious that this is Luna's secret base.
Luna took out a whistle from her pocket, puffed her cheeks and blew it. The sound was not loud, and it perfectly blended into the "rustling" wind around her. Felix judged that it was a magical item.
Soon, Felix heard the sound of a horse trotting, and a young centaur appeared with white hair and the body of a silver-maned horse.
The reason why Felix judged him was "young" was from his human face. The centaur cautiously looked at him through the branches and leaves of the tree, half of his body was hidden behind the trunk.
"Little Luna, is he your teacher?" The centaur asked, Felix was wearing elegant and delicate clothes, so he did not doubt Felix's status as a professor.
"Yeah, come on, I have prepared new food for you, let's try it together!" Luna said happily.
Firenz came out from behind the tree trunk and stopped two meters away from Felix. He froze, "Hi, I'm Firenze."
"Oh, hello, I'm Felix Hemp." Felix said politely.
"Listen, wizard. We generally don't deal with people, especially adult wizards, if little Luna let me meet you..."
Felix said with a smile: "I know the centaurs are xenophobic, but I think you will be an exception. And I came here to discuss some serious issues with you."
Fierenze stared and said, "What's the problem?"
"Do you know Sirius Black?"
"I've heard of this name, he is a dangerous person." Firenze said casually.
"That's right, he escaped from Azkaban, the Ministry of Magic and the dementors were furious, by the way, have you ever seen a dementor?"
Fierenze said bluntly: "I don't have any, but some people in the tribe say they have seen their shadows."
"That's it," Felix said, "The Forbidden Forest is not safe, and with all due respect, if the dementors really get out of control, I don't think you have any good way to fight them."
The centaur was scratching the dirt with his hooves, his face showing anger, but he knew the words were true.
Felix continued: "It's too dangerous to let a student approach the Forbidden Forest, and it's a violation of school regulations. My opinion is that we should be more cautious before the dementors withdraw."
"You want to prevent us from meeting?"
"I have no intention of ruining a friendship. It may be a wonderful memory when Luna grows up. Firenze, should you and Hagrid know each other?"
"Know." The horseman said.
Felix laughed, "Isn't this great, I don't think Hagrid would mind hosting you, maybe it would be nice to meet at the pumpkin patch behind Hagrid's hut."
Firenze said: "Hagrid may be stronger than the centaurs, but I don't think he can deal with dementors."
Felix shook his head, "Ferenze, you still don't understand, Hagrid is a wizard. Regardless of his usual appearance, there is no doubt that he is a wizard. His methods are better than yours, and Your ethnic groups add up to more."
"Maybe he can't fight against the dementors, but it's okay to persist for a short time until he gets support. What's more, we are discussing the most extreme situation, and cases of dementors getting out of control are relatively rare."
Ferenze reluctantly agreed, he stepped forward, bent down and shook hands with Felix.
"It can be seen that you have no prejudice against the centaurs, Mr. Hemp," he said.
"Oh, of course not, Firenze, do you know where the acromantula's lair is?" Felix asked.
"I know," Firenze pointed in a direction with some hesitation, "their lair is on the west side of the tribe, we had a fight many years ago, and their hunting range will not cross the border we have drawn. "
Felix roughly guessed the location of the centaur settlement, the spider lair, and Hogwarts. He suddenly found that the centaur separated the group of acromantia, and even if the little wizard was playful, It is also difficult to walk on the rough road for several hours, and it is very likely to be discovered by the horsemen and be driven back.
For the rest of the time, Felix and Firenze didn't talk much except that Luna was in a good mood. Firenze and Luna shared "morning tea", that is, the plate of buttered peas, Luna He also wanted Felix to try it, but he directly refused.
Before leaving, Firenze hesitated and said, "Maybe you are right."
"What?" Felix asked.
"The danger is approaching..." The centaur flicked his silver tail a little uneasily~IndoMTL.com~ The tribe also observed that the undercurrent was surging, and the darkness was approaching. "
Felix laughed, "Maybe this indicates the reappearance of a dark lord who disappeared?"
Fierenze stared at him in surprise, and slowly said: "I didn't predict so accurately. The centaurs observed the astrology and found some important revelations, but they only responded in general."
Felix said lightly: "I don't know how to predict, but I know more than ordinary people. When you have enough information, you will naturally be able to see farther. This is also the principle of arithmetic divination."
Come out of the Forbidden Forest, Luna said thoughtfully: "Are you talking about the mysterious man? He's coming back?"
"It's possible." Felix didn't explain in detail, she was only in the second grade.
After sending Luna away, Felix turned back to the Forbidden Forest and walked in the direction pointed by the centaur for more than ten minutes. Later, he simply used a broomstick to quickly pass by from low altitude.
His goal is very clear, which is the lair of the acromantula.
